Must Hear Monday: 3OH!3’s “My First Kiss”

First Katy Perry, now Ke$ha: 3OH!3 has a knack for teaming up with pop's latest "it" girl to launch its own music up the charts. There's no need--the sophomoric duo's new single is totally addictive in its own right.

Less offensive than “Don’t Trust Me,” not quite as raunchy as “Star Strukk,” “My First Kiss,” the first single from 3OH!3’s second album, Streets of Gold (it drops June 29), still sticks to the band’s shock first, then get them to sing along mentality with lyrics like “Lips like licorice, tongue like candy/Excuse me, miss, but can I get you out your panties?”

Rap-rock beats meet pure pop hooks for a song that sounds like Gwen Stefani’s “Hollaback Girl” meets Cobra Starship’s “Hot Mess”. Ke$ha’s vocals are far from the focus of the track but you can’t deny it: any time this girl drops a line (See: her previous collaboration with 3OH!3 “Blah Blah Blah,” Flo Rida’s “Right Round,” “Tik Tok”, “Your Love Is My Drug,” Travie’s upcoming “Want U Bad”…can you believe Ke$ha only popped up on the scene in January?), it’s a guaranteed radio smash.

What do you think of 3OH!3’s “My First Kiss”? Who should Ke$ha collaborate with next?
